The 35-year-old Alexandria man is charged with killing Ahmed S. Osman, 35, of Sterling and Murtada A. Marof, 40, of Herndon, at Pharaoh Café.

A 10-day trial is scheduled for Michel Moreno, who is accused of killing his sister with his car. He is accused of running down Nancy Moreno, 54, on July 21, after she got out of his car on the side of Rt. 28 near Innovation Drive. He then fled the scene and was later apprehended in Maryland by Anne Arundel County police.
